Do you think stuttering should be treated the same way we treat glasses or hearing aids? Growing up with a stutter, I used to feel like it was something that held me back. Over time — with a lot of practice and support — I’ve learned not only to manage it better, but to see it differently. It’s always struck me that society completely normalizes glasses for vision 👓 and hearing aids for hearing 👂… but not stuttering. Why is one difference accepted and another still misunderstood? I made a short video about this idea — that stuttering isn’t broken, it’s human — and how important education and awareness are. Would love to hear your thoughts: do you think attitudes are changing, or do we still have a long way to go? Here’s the short if you’d like to watch: https://youtube.com/shorts/-AOHUI-ujgc?si=MKBv4e9BcAC_Pbih
